Analysis of the relationship between serum Ang-2,sTREM-1 and HMGB1 levels and short-term outcomes in elderly patients with severe pneumonia complicated with respirato-ry failure
Objective The relationship between serum Ang-2、sTREM-1 and HMGB1 levels and short-term out-comes in elderly patients with severe pneumonia complicated with respiratory failure was analyzed.Methods This study included 167 elderly patients with severe pneumonia and respiratory failure admitted to Yongkang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine(70 cases)and Jinhua Central Hospita(97 cases),Zhejiang Province from January 2020 to May 2023 as the research object.According to the outcome(survival,death)within 28 days,the patients were divided into a survival group(122 cases)and a death group(45 cases).The differences in serum Ang-2、sTREM-1 and HMGB1 levels between the two groups were analyzed.The general data of patients were collected.The binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of short-term outcomes in elderly patients with severe pneumonia complicated with respiratory failure.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve model was used to analyze the predictive value of serum Ang-2,sTREM-1 and HMGB1 levels on the short-term outcome of patients.Results In this study,45 patients died from the end of observa-tion,accounting for 26.95%.The death time of patients was 5~21 days,and the median time was 9(7,14)days.The levels of serum Ang-2、sTREM-1 and HMGB1 in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group(all P<0.05).Logistic regression results showed that smoking history(β=3.071,OR=21.568,95% CI:1.405-331.121),high APACHE II score(β=0.389,OR=1.475,95% CI:1.098-1.982),high BNP level(β=0.014,OR=1.014,95% CI:1.007-1.022),high PCT level(β=1.748,OR=5.744,95% CI:1.940-17.006),low PAB level(β=-0.051,OR=0.950,95% CI:0.914-0.988),high Ang-2 level before treatment(β=2.381,OR=10.816,95% CI:1.070-109.340),high sTREM-1 level before treatment(β=0.186,OR=1.204,95% CI:1.068-1.359),and high HMGB1 level before treatment(β=0.238,OR=1.269,95% CI:1.067-1.509)were risk factors for death within 28 days in elderly patients with severe pneumonia complicated with respiratory failure.Conclusion Smoking history、high APACHE II score、high BNP level、high PCT level、low PAB level、high Ang-2 level be-fore treatment、high sTREM-1 level before treatment and high HMGB1 level before treatment were risk factors for death within 28 days in elderly patients with severe pneumonia complicated with respiratory failure.The levels of clinical Ang-2、sTREM-1 and HMGB1 have certain predictive values for the prognosis of elderly patients with severe pneumonia complicat-ed with respiratory failure within 28 days.
